Easy to see why BBC Coast magazine readers voted the Pembrokeshire Coast Path their favourite trail recently. The best of British is here, ragged sea cliffs, golden beaches, wildflowers and mountains across horizons. Over 186 coast-hugging miles you discover Celtic chapels at Bosherton, crablines and candyfloss at Tenby and a splendid cathedral at St Davids. Look out for seals and seabirds, and breathe in the sea air.

Today the former Welsh-English frontier, Britain’s longest ancient monument, forms the 177-mile coast-to-coast Offa's Dyke Path. Walk the Wye valley to Monmouth, past book capital Hay-on-Wye and onto the Clywdian Hills. Days are spent walking forgotten valleys with buzzards and badgers. Nights are snug in gentle market towns. A challenge, but never crowded, never boring.

Located in Mid Wales, most walkers haven’t caught on to Glyndŵr's Way a 135-mile route through Mid Wales – and that’s just one reason to go. The farmland, hills and moors between Knighton, Machynlleth and Welshpool feel more remote, the views across Cadair Idris and Plynlimon more exhilarating. Being overlooked has its advantages.

In 2012 we created the world’s first uninterrupted route along a national coast. The Wales Coast Path covers all the famous bits on its 870-mile odyssey: Gower, Pembrokeshire, the Cambrian Coast. There are numberless beaches, estuaries, cliff-tops and woodlands. City waterfronts, castles and the occasional industrial site among the nature reserves but that’s part of Wales; part of the voyage of discovery.
